The City of Roseburg Fire Department, Central Douglas Fire & Rescue, and Cow Creek Tribal Fire Management will be actively engaging in wildland fire training exercises on Reservoir Hill today, June 17, as well as June 19 and 20, 2026. During the training exercises, live burning will occur throughout the day. Training will take place between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. each day. Firefighters may remain at the training location for an extended period after training has concluded for site cleanup.

The wildland fire training exercises are being conducted under carefully planned and controlled conditions to reduce the amount of fuel available for future wildfires.  This training provides firefighters with valuable hands-on experience while helping create safer conditions that can slow the spread and intensity of potential wildfires in our community.

The City of Roseburg would like to thank Central Douglas Fire & Rescue and Cow Creek Tribal Fire Management for their assistance, support, and participation in the upcoming wildland fire training. This collaborative effort highlights the importance of inter-agency interoperability and provides critical benefits to all agencies involved by enhancing coordinated response capabilities and overall preparedness. The City of Roseburg Fire Department would also like to thank the City of Roseburg Police Department for providing additional assistance related to the training.

As always, safety will be the number one priority for personnel participating in the training. For everyone’s safety, we kindly ask photographers and the public to stay clear of the designated training burn site. Drone operators are reminded that flying drones over the prescribed burn site is prohibited for both safety reasons and potential interference with firefighting operations. Your cooperation helps ensure a secure environment for all fire personnel involved.

Wildland Fire Training With Live Burning Set for Reservoir Hill June 17, 19, and 20

Oregon Sourdough Co. is relocating from Roseburg to Myrtle Creek, with its last day at the Stephens Street bakery set for Saturday, June 20.

The bakery's new home will be at 236 N. Main St. in Myrtle Creek, just off Exit 108. This week is the final stretch of operations at the Roseburg shop before the transition.

The move was not part of the business's original plans. According to the bakery, an extensive search for available space in Roseburg did not produce a workable option, and an opportunity in Myrtle Creek opened up instead. The new space offers more room to expand its lineup of sourdough breads, pastries, and other items.

A grand opening date for the Myrtle Creek location has not been set yet. They will share updates as plans are finalized

The Douglas County Parks Department, in partnership with the Oregon State Marine Board (OSMB) and the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife (ODFW) announce upcoming temporary staggered closures of the East and West Boat Docks, Ramps and associated parking areas at Cooper Creek County Park to accommodate a much-anticipated marine infrastructure improvement project. The project includes replacement of both boat docks and parking lot paving designed to improve public access, safety, and recreational boating opportunities.

The East Boat Ramp, Dock and Parking Lot, located on the east end of the reservoir off Cooper Creek Road, will be closed beginning June 17, 2026, for construction activities, including boarding dock replacement, parking lot resurfacing, and related site accessibility improvements. During construction, the East Boat Ramp area will be fully closed to the public, and no vehicle, pedestrian, or boating access will be available. Contractors anticipate completing work and reopening the facility by June 22, 2026; however, construction schedules are weather-dependent and subject to change. Throughout this phase of the project, the West Boat Ramp will remain open and available for public boat launching and recreational use.

The West Boat Ramp, Dock and Parking Lot, located off Edgewater Drive adjacent to the front entrance of the park and the dam, will close beginning July 5, 2026, to allow for similar improvements, including Boarding dock replacement, parking lot resurfacing, and related site accessibility improvements. The site will be fully closed to the public during construction, with no vehicle, pedestrian, or boating access available. The Contractor anticipates completing work and reopening the facility on or before September 4, 2026; although weather conditions may affect the project timeline. During this phase, visitors will be directed to use the East Boat Ramp for boating access and recreational activities.

The project will modernize both launch facilities by replacing aging boat docks and upgrading adjacent parking areas. These upgrades are intended to enhance public safety, increase accessibility, and provide an improved recreational experience for boaters and park visitors. Through a request for bids process, Topper Industries I, LLC, was awarded the dock replacement contract, and local contractor JRT Construction, LLC, was awarded the paving contract.

Project funding is being provided through OSMB 2025-2027 Cycle One and Cycle Two Facility Grant award #1743 ($561,736), federal pass thru U.S. Fish and Wildlife Sport Fish Restoration funds via Sub-Award Grant #293-25 from ODFW ($485,209), Umpqua Fishery Enhancement Derby ($3,500), Sutherlin Rotary Club ($1,000), and $403,150 in matching Douglas County Park revenue funds. The OSMB grant funding program uses revenue generated from motorized boater fees and taxes to support the development and improvement of boating facilities statewide. The ODFW grant is from the Sport Fish Restoration federal program with revenue generated from user excise taxes on fishing gear and boat fuel that is passed through to states to support recreational boating access projects.

Douglas County appreciates the public's patience and cooperation during construction as these important and exciting improvements are completed. Again, at least one ramp/dock will remain open during the construction process. Please use extra caution and follow construction, detour, and warning signs posted at the park. The project is expected to be completed by Labor Day Weekend 2026.

Cooper Creek County Park is located approximately three miles southeast of Sutherlin and provides recreational access to the 166-acre Cooper Creek Reservoir. The Douglas County Parks Department was established in 1949 and was the first County Park system in Oregon. From the Pacific Ocean to the Cascades and throughout the 100 Valleys of the Umpqua, the Park system now encompasses 70 properties, including 23 boat ramps, 11 campgrounds and 42-day use parks. For more information about Douglas County Parks visit https://www.douglascountyor.gov/802/Parks.

The OSMB was established in 1959 by the Oregon Legislature in response to the federal Boating Safety Act of 1958. It is Oregon's recreational boating agency, dedicated to promoting safe, enjoyable, and environmentally responsible boating throughout the state. The agency provides boating education and safety programs, manages boating access and facility grants, registers and titles boats, and works with local governments and partners to improve and maintain public boating facilities.

Boat Dock Improvements Coming to Cooper Creek

From Roseburg Fire Department Wednesday June 10th:

"This afternoon, at 4:53 p.m., fire crews from the Roseburg Fire Department and Cow Creek Tribal Fire Management responded to a reported natural cover fire on Reservoir Hill. Firefighters arrived on scene to find a slow moving, dry vegetation fire alongside the lower portion of Reservoir Hill.  The fire was unrelated to the controlled burn at the top of the hill earlier this morning.

The acre and a half fire is 100% lined and 50% of mop up operations have been completed as of 6:30 p.m. this evening.  This fire poses no threat to structures or homes.  The cause of the fire is under investigation.  Smoke will continue to be visible throughout the evening, as crews continue mop-up progress on the fire. 

With dry vegetation and temperatures expected to rise in the coming days, fire danger throughout our area is increasing significantly. The Roseburg Fire Department and Cow Creek Tribal Fire Management want to urge all community members to follow current fire restrictions, use extreme caution with any activity that could spark a fire, and do their part to help prevent human-caused wildfires."
